About Me
So, about me...I'm an easy going,engaged 41 year old guy living in Los Angele's San Fernando Valley (the real "Valley of the Dolls"). Transplanted from Boston in 2005, and no, I'm not a Red Sox or Patriots fan. Love hockey though. Why, oh why, can you not get great pizza and seafood in L.A. (or bagels, for that matter)? Oh well. Makes the trips back East that much sweeter.I previously worked in the music biz. I was a stage tech/ production manager and toured with some great bands like Rasputina, Extreme, Farrenheit, Alice in Chains, KIX, Aerosmith, Spread Eagle, Big Catholic Guilt, Twisted Sister, Tony Bennett, Janet LaValley, Mike Viola and The CandyButchers, Mass, Hardline, ZZ Top, Fountains of Wayne, Marilyn Manson, Helmet, Saigon Kick, Porno for Pyros, Bob Mould, Bon Jovi, David Lee Roth, Cranes, Cheap Trick, They Might Be Giants and more. Now I work in event planning. My likes and passions include: everything Bad Badtz Maru, movies, music, seeing bands and going to shows, my iPod (it goes everywhere with me), wine (red), travel, watching DVD's, my TiVo, watching re-runs of "Ab Fab" and "Sex and the City", BBC America, The Discovery Channel,HD Net(Robert Wilonsky-drool!) biking (novice) and discovering new restaurants around here in L.A. Oh, how I miss York Steakhouse back home. Allergic to cats too. Hate 'em. They judge. Not a great cook here, but I'm learning. It's amazing what you can do with a box of Near East rice, chicken breast, spices and some imagination. I can be spontanious, but don't let that fool you. I'm very good at organizing and planning things as well. It's what I do. Oh yeah...I love and miss my dog, Jake, back east. (Take care of him, Ken.)I love going to the cinema and the theatre. Sandra Bernhard's "Everything Bad & Beautiful" and "Grey Gardens" were recent faves in NYC. Stevie Nick's show "Dreams" at Caesar's and Cirque De Solei's "The Beatles LOVE" at The Mirage, both in Vegas, were AMAZING! Now, if they'd just make a Dairy Queen musical, I'd be in Heaven. I'd want to play the role of "Buster Bar"!Some "NO's" I firmly believe in: No: Streisand, Land Rovers and Hummers in the city, Emo kids, coffee flavored anything, anything remotely related to Adam Sandler or Will Ferrel, trendy brand t-shirts (Yes, this means you Ed Hardy), cheating, anything to do with JACKASS or Bam Margera, white guys talking like their from the 'hood, basketball and stupid people. Like Edina says, "Tax the stupid people!"I guess everything else might be a "yes". But don't quote me on that."Standing in the sun with a popsicle, everything is possible" - Soul Asylum"And you're right, I'm an idiot. And I'm a joke, but you're not getting it. Wear a helmet 'cause this is over your head." - The Dambuilders"Sparkle, Neely! Sparkle!" - Valley of the Dolls
